1t now seems like Representative Mills
OF Texas, is to have another rival. more
formidable than another yet named, for
the craftsmanship of the ways and means
committee of the tifneth congress, in the
person of Hon. Billie Breckenridge of
Kentucky. If the appointment depends
upon forensic ability, Mr.. Breckenridge
will no doubt get the preferment. How
ever, the duties of the position require
that its occupant should be familiar with
the science of finance. and we have never
heard the silver tongued Kentuckian ac-
cused of possessing that quality in any
marked degree.

A jury was at work yesterday on Church
and Bridge streets, assessing damages and
benefits accruing by the widening of the
same. These are two important streets
need to be widened badly, and when
done will be among the handsomest IN
the city.

billed for an appearance here early in
December. Performing in New Orleani

to exactness by familiarity with the best

Z good shotgun and open 4 warfare on
the pestilential rabbits he will no. only
have fun. get good exercise, hnt help the
country during his sQjourn there.
Tho widening of Church street, which
is necessity, will necessitate the re-
moval of the remains of a large number OF
those who have been sleeping in these
places for number of years. We under
stand that parties have also arranged to
have large number of others removed
this winter. the only time such work can
be done. Would it not be well for all par
ties interested to take steps to have the
remains Of cir respective friends re-
moved at the same time? There can be
no more burials in either OF these places,
and should not be. We have a cemetery
which in time will become une of the
most attractive spots in or near the city.
Would it not be well for all who have
friends buried in either Church yard to
have their remains removed this winter?
We thrO cut the suggestion, and hope
1t will meet with the al provsl of all con-
cerned Sooner or later it will haye to
be done, and the sooner the better.

New YORK, Nov. 29.-When the
news Of Sharp's new trial reached
the county court house it created
considerable stir among the lawyers
present in the numerous courts. The
general opinion seemed to be one O1
approval. Mr.. Clark, the Law part
ner of Congressman Bourke Coche
ran who argued the case on the app
peal, on receiving the news 1T once
started for Ludlow street jail ID CON
vey the glad tiding, to Jacob
Sharp. He first saw Mrs. Sharp.
She cried with joy, and said she
had heard 50 many rumOrs that
she found it difficult to believe it.
She then broke the news t. her hus-
band. He manifested no emo;iou
whatever and seemed to take but
little interest in the matter. Since
his conviction he has iallen into a
moody stolid state of indifference to
all outward things from which it
seems impossible to arouse hi':t.
Mr.. Clark said that when Mr.. Coc2-
ran returns from AlbanE to night
there will be II consultation about
applying for Sharp's admission to
bail. A motion to that effect he
said will probably be made to
morrow, and he expected it would
be granted. The motion may lie
made to any Judge Of the Supreme
Court. He supposed the amount of
bail fixed would be high; possibly
$4,000.
